SOAR, a premier provider of quality online services to
Cub Scout Packs and Boy Scout Troops
announced today
availability of a new Calendar Sync feature
for its hosted website services -
myPack and
myTroop.

Since 2005
SOAR
has helped scouting units increase communication with their
members and organization amongst unit leaders. The new
Calendar Sync feature adds another tool for unit leaders
to easily communicate with members and allow members to stay
up-to-date with upcoming events.

The new
SOAR
Calendar Sync feature allows unit members to keep their personal
digital calendars in sync with your unit website calendar by
simply subscribing once. Thereafter, all future events and event
changes you make will be downloaded automatically by your member's
personal calendars.

Unit members will never forget about a meeting again, or miss
an important change in meeting location or date !

The
SOAR
Calendar Sync feature is based on the Internet's iCalendar standard
and supports personal calendars such as Microsoft Outlook,
Google Calendar, Yahoo Calendar, iPhone/iPad/iPod, Android, and
other smartphones.

This feature provides the following benefits:

It will save a lot of time for your members, because
they do not need to manually add unit events to
their personal digital calendars.

It will ensure that your members always have an up
to date version of your unit calendar.

For detailed information on this new feature, login to the
SOAR
demonstration site and go to
Admin -> Online Help -> Feature Guides -> Calendar Sync.
